Arkansas puts departed QB Madden Iamaleava in its crosshairs by encouraging NIL collective to recoup buyout

Some buyout clauses require the player to pay the collective 50% of what remains on an NIL deal if they leave before the end of the agreement. A better approach seems to be back-loading the payouts so that they get paid after playing games.

I’m super confused as to why the athletics director at Arkansas cares whether or not a 3rd party for-profit entity gets reimbursed for not getting to use the name, image, and likeness of a person who is leaving the area. Better yet, why can’t said entity still use his name, image, and likeness for advertising, social media hits, etc.? He’s still the same person who hasn’t changed anything about his name, image, or likeness.

I thought the last name was bad enough when I read the stories about his brother, but this is even better

“I’m unhappy at Arkansas, and I’m Madden Iamaleava”

How about the NIL pay per game...ala every other sport?

I hope NFL teams remember all this drama when draft night comes, assuming these 2 are truly draftable at that point. Wonder what dad will do at that point if they aren't? Probably sue somebody and blame them because the weren't NFL material
